The city of San Antonio is seeking dedicated volunteers 18 years of age and up who are willing to train/serve as volunteer tax preparers, greeters and intake specialists for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program in anticipation of next year's federal income tax filing season.

In 2012, VITA volunteers operated over 23 sites throughout San Antonio and completed more than 35,000 tax returns for families/individuals earning up to $55,000, recovering over $60 million in refunds for taxpayers.

Individuals interested in signing up as volunteers can register online at www.vitasa.org. Individuals can also call Catholic Charities at 222-2975 or email her at volunteer@vitasa.org for more information on volunteer opportunities and details.
